Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Come they told me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum (Peace on Earth, can it be)
A new-born king to see pa-rum-pum-pum-pum (Years from now, perhaps we'll see)
Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum-pum-pum-pum (See the day of glory)
To lay before the king pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum (See the day, when men of good will)
Rum-pum-pum-pum (Live in peace, live in peace again)
So to honour him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum (Peace on Earth)
When we come (Can it be)
Every child must be made aware
Every child must be made to care
Care enough for his fellow man
To give all the love that he can
Little baby pa-rum-pum-pum-pum (I pray my wish will come true)
I stood beside him there pa-rum-pum-pum-pum (For my child and your child too)
I played my drum for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum (He'll see the day of glory)
I played my best for him pa-rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum (See the day when men of good will)
Rum-pum-pum-pum (Live in peace, live in peace again)
And he smiled at me pa-rum-pum-pum-pum (Peace on Earth)
me and my drum (Can it be)
can it be
